Daydreaming (of Adventures for Tomorrow)

Every day, we daydream. Whether it is during class, while reading, while on a car ride, or really anywhere at any time; we daydream. We don’t really choose when to tune out of reality and into the endless adventures of our mind; it just happens. Daydreaming is a piece written to reflect this aspect of the human experience. I am an avid daydreamer, so my particular inspiration stems from times when I was in a place so boring, that my mind slipped off into a different world (or adventure), whilst remaining half present in reality. The music of Daydreaming reflects this as there are contrasting slow and fast sections, with an intermingling of melodic themes, as if to reflect someone daydreaming whilst only half keeping their mind on the present world. The piece seamlessly flows between the contrasting sections and hockets themes to further reflect how thoughts come, go, and intermingle with our much more boring reality. The ending is built to reflect how even when we are so far inside our mind, suddenly when we become aware, the daydream will abruptly end. All these musical ideas reflect how we are truly at the mercy of our own mind to create our conscience reality.
